Cultivate steadily, the whole world of cultivating immortals is my home

Chapter 256 The Demon King’s Purpose
"By the way, fellow Taoist, you only have two chances to choose two of these three materials for assessment."

The little fox demon flew to the corner of the cave, tangled his fingers in his long hair, and spoke leisurely.

As soon as this word comes out.

Shen Lian couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the little fox demon.

Not only was the little fox demon not the least bit shy about Shen Lian's gaze, she licked the corners of her mouth and opened her mouth specially for Shen Lian to look at as he pleased.

Choose two out of three.

Originally, Shen Lian wanted to start from the third level low-grade.

Even though the little fox demon displayed the third-level Dzogchen Tianyuan Thunder Ape corpse, he still had some scruples in his heart.

After all, this was his first time here, and he had no idea what big project the Great Demon King Canglan was gathering together with so many people.

"Fellow Taoist, has any monk taken away the third-level Dzogchen reward?"

"Of course there is."

The little fox girl responded nonchalantly: "My Lord Demon King is not like your human race who deprives you of rewards. There is a dark hand behind the scenes. As long as fellow Taoist completes the task, all the rewards will fall into the hands of fellow Taoist.

"I, Canglan Demonic Mountain, don't have many other things, except that I have many demonic beasts and many magical medicines."

"I wonder what treasure the Great Demon King wants to create?"

"Fellow Taoist, let's take the assessment."

The little fox demon blinked, "I will tell you what I can tell you. If you ask me what I can't tell you, I won't tell you, because I don't know either."

"Fellow Taoist, let me tell you clearly, there are not many third-level high-grade spiritual objects, only about a dozen in total.

Among them were four demon king corpses, and this thunder ape was one of them.

In addition, there is a third-level high-grade Nine-turn Heart Bamboo, two dragon marrow phoenix pills, a Jiao King inner elixir fire, and a third-level 27 and a half-level bamboo, which is only half a spiritual ban away from being promoted to the fourth level. Quasi-Lingbao Cangshan Sword..."

"Also, the Tianyuan Thunder Ape corpse in front of you is being watched by many people. There are many third-level high-grade puppet masters in Tiannan Continent.

These people came here more than once, and many monks even passed the assessment before them, but they still failed when they actually took action.

Some fellow Taoists did not come this time, probably because they were practicing their inner strength at home. "

Shen Lian looked at the little fox demon, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist, even if you pass the test, you may not be able to take away the reward?"

"Giggle."

The little fox demon covered his mouth and chuckled, then jumped up and landed on Shen Lian's shoulder.

"Fellow Taoist, what great thing are you thinking about? Are you thinking that I am opening a charity hall in Canglan Mountain?"

"The reward requires fellow Taoist to complete the following tasks. The assessment only represents the fellow Taoist's qualifications to enter the next level."

"Of course, even if fellow Taoist cannot complete the task, I, Canglan Mountain, will give you some gifts, such as thunder spirit stones, some recovery elixirs, etc."

"Fellow Taoist, if you really have the ability, you should show it. I, the Canglan Mountain Monster Clan, are not your human race. We are jealous of the virtuous."

"Maybe if you are unlucky, someone else will take the ape corpse away this time."

"Once some treasures are taken away, it is almost impossible to touch them again."

……

The little fox demon curled its long hair. It said these words to Shen Lian alone.

At this moment, it is distributed in every assessment cave with the help of Lingbao spectroscopic phantom mirror, telling many monks.

Moreover, the treasures in front of each monk are carefully selected by it to arouse the greatest excitement of the corresponding monk.

Shen Lian stood on the stone platform on the far right. On the stone platform was a pile of third-level demon wolves that had been cut into pieces with random knives.

Fortunately, Brother Wolf is a projection. It would be really miserable if it were real.

There are two ways to create a puppet. One is to use the corpses of various races, including human races, as carriers. By repairing the meridians, dantian, golden elixirs, etc. in the carrier, the physical strength of the carrier's body, and even magic and magical powers, can be retained.

The other way is to create a combined puppet from different parts just like he refining his natal magic weapon.

Combination puppets and corpse puppets each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of combination puppets is that they can use low-level mineral materials and corpses to compete with high-level monks through combination.

The disadvantage is that it is too complicated. In some places, the combination of puppet spirit patterns is troublesome, and there must be no deviation.

The advantage of a corpse puppet is that it is relatively simple to create, but the state of the corpse during life fixes the grade of the finished puppet. Sometimes it is easy to lose the grade if it is not made well.

The demon wolf on the stone platform was divided into hundreds of pieces, and there were a lot of spider silk next to it. This was a test of the puppet master's ability. The wolf demon's corpse needed to be sewn together, and the internal meridians and Dantian sea were pinched.

During this process, if you are not careful, the level of the demon wolf will drop.

Although the wolf demon was broken into hundreds of pieces, these things were not difficult for Shen Lian. He rubbed his hands together and quickly started to sort them.

Since the little fox demon said it, passing the assessment may not result in a reward.

He plans to pass the assessment first and then see what happens.

If he could win the third-level Dzogchen Demonic Ape, it would save him a lot of trouble.

He has no shortage of elixirs needed to cultivate to the perfection of the golden elixir, but he only lacks the things to refine his body.

The precious blood of thunder-attributed monsters also contains the true meaning of heavenly thunder. It might be able to reduce the violent aura in the monster blood, which would actually be beneficial to his physical training.

Before coming to Canglan Mountain, his puppetry skills were still at the third-level, low-level level. However, after coming here and opening Fatty Ding's Puppet Shop, he upgraded his puppetry skills to the third-level, middle-level level.

In addition, due to the long years of training in the golden elixir realm, Shen Lian had enough time to meditate and practice. In fact, he had already collected the [-] enlightenment points needed to be promoted to the third-level high-grade puppet master.

His hands writhed on the stone platform, the spider silk danced like a butterfly through flowers, and the bones of the wolf demon were sewn together piece by piece.

The little fox demon was lying on the side watching. It could see that Shen Lian's technique was a puppet repair technique commonly used in the world of immortality. If anything, it was Shen Lian's proficiency and control.

But there is really nothing outstanding about it.

Over the years, it has met many puppet masters, some of whom came from far away and performed various schools and techniques, which were much more enchanting than Shen Lian.

Unfortunately, most of them have silver-like pewter tips, which look good but should not be used.

Soon, Shen Lian completed the stitching of the broken demon wolf and passed the assessment.

Then, he came to the stone platform in the middle, which was the leg bone of a monster beast, exuding a strong earthy aura.

This platform is a test for combining puppets. This leg bone is only one part. What Shen Lian has to do is to carve the puppet runes on it and let it be integrated into the body.

But the main body didn't tell him what it was. Don't think that it's just a leg that needs to be installed on the butt. The combined puppets are all suture monsters. Maybe this leg will be installed on the head.

In the end, Shen Lian chose the universal combination puppet rune. As long as the rune imprint was comprehensive, it would be no problem even if it was mounted on the crotch, let alone the buttocks.

……

"The examination passed."

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

The little fox demon flew over and held his hands towards Shen Lian. The two peaks in front of him also expressed their respect.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

A light door lit up in the cave, and the little fox demon got into the light door and disappeared. After Shen Lian walked out of the light door, he found himself in a spacious cave.

Inside the cave, there is a white jade seat, a clear spring flowing, and spiritual energy wandering under your feet like mist.

There are already three figures sitting in the cave.

One of them was the puppet master Shen Lian saw outside, the old man who wanted to obtain the golden ape corpse.

"Another fellow Taoist passed the examination."

Seeing Shen Lian coming out, the three monks present looked sideways.

"Fellow Taoist, I'm the Ancient River of Tianyuan Sect." A young and frail-looking monk raised his hand towards Shen Lian.

"Rogue cultivator, Ding Xiu."

Shen Lian glanced at the figure who was the first to say hello, and also clasped his fists and saluted.

Tianyuan Sect, one of the seven major sects, actually has monks who come all the way to Canglan Mountain.

Then, he bowed his hands towards the remaining two monks.

Soon, the names of the remaining two monks were known.

The old man who wanted to pass the back ape was the head cultivator of the Puppet Machine Sect, another small nearby Jindan sect. His name was Puppet Master, and he had been a third-level high-grade puppet master in the early years.

The remaining one was a female monk, her appearance was very ordinary, but it made Shen Lian take a second look.

It's not that he is abnormal, but that female cultivators in the world of immortality rarely have very ordinary looks. As long as one is successful in cultivation, it is very easy to deliberately change the face without rebounding.

The female cultivator is also a third-level high-grade puppet master, named Hongye.

Counting Shen Lian himself, who has not yet advanced to the third-level high-grade puppet master, but whose methods are not weaker than those of the third-level high-grade puppet master, there are four third-level high-grade puppet masters at once.

"It's not too long, I'm afraid I won't pass the test."

Master Puppet Master sighed, he was a frequent visitor here.

But the rules of the Demon King are that no matter how many times you come, you need to be assessed each time to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes.

During the communication with the three people, Shen Lian also learned about the matter.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to be the only puppet masters who come, but the third-level mid-level and low-level ones will not appear here.

"Fellow Taoist Puppet Machine, can you please clarify what kind of puppet the Demon King wants to create?"

At this time, Gu He asked. Like Shen Lian, he came here for the first time, for a third-order Dzogchen puppet corpse.

Master Puppet Master stroked his beard, "It's not that I didn't tell you, it's just that I don't know everything. It should be a huge spiritual ship.

I came here several times, and each time I just carved some peripheral puppet parts. I wanted to depict the more internal puppet parts, but I was not strong enough.

This time is the only chance I have left. Even if I risk my life, I will try to obtain a heritage treasure for the sect. "

Hearing the somewhat sad words of Master Puppet Master, the three people in the cave looked startled.

"Fellow Taoist, you will definitely get what you want."

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Shen Lian opened his mouth to warm up the scene. Anyway, good words don't cost spiritual stones.

He also admired the idea of ​​Master Puppet Machine. The head cultivator of the sect would risk his life for the inheritance of the sect.

According to the narration of the puppet machine master, the place where this person entered was a circular passage. The passage was surrounded by puppet boards. All he had to do was to imprint a sufficient number of runes on the puppet board to make the puppet board die. Dead bites together.

"There are many Panlong Pillars in the place I chose. My task is to imprint puppet runes on the Panlong Pillars."

"According to the rules set by the Demon King, if you complete the imprinting of one hundred pillars with puppet runes, you will get the final reward. Unfortunately, I only imprinted 69 pillars before I exhausted my strength."

The puppet masters who are both high-grade third-level puppet masters, judging from their realm, Shen Lian is at the lowest level, only late third-level, and the remaining three are all third-level Dzogchen masters.

Both Puppet Machine and Hongye are exhausted from branding the puppet soul, so it is easy to imagine that this job is not easy to do.

However, Canglan Demon King understands human nature, and the rewards given to the monks are really rare.

Moreover, if you fail to complete the task and cannot get the reward, Canglan Mountain will also give some other spiritual objects as labor fees.

You won't lose money, but you won't make much money either.

Nima is so kind.

Chi Guoguo's conspiracy, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

In this way, the four people waited for another day, but no monk came to their house again.

In other words, there are only four of them as the third-level high-grade puppet masters this time.

"Good luck, fellow Taoists."

The little fox demon appeared on the scene again, but this time it turned into a snow-white little fox, stepping on clouds of mist, opening its mouth and spitting out a ball of rolling mist.

The fog got bigger and bigger after rising, and finally turned into a curtain of light.

"Fellow Taoist, you can choose your own tasks."

"The Panlong Pillar is branded with the third-level high-grade puppet rune. If you complete one hundred pillars, you will get the highest level reward."

……

"Create independent third-level high-grade puppet accessories. Complete one hundred to get the highest reward."

"Leave a mark on the screen wall..."

……

There are more than a dozen tasks on the light screen, but each task has only two results, either it is successful and the highest reward is obtained, or it is not completed.

You have received the subsistence allowance, and you are welcome to come back next time after you have rested.

Judging from the experience of so many years, almost [-]% of the monks have received the script of coming again next time and coming again next time.

But Shen Lian still sympathizes with fellow Taoists. After all, he is the same. The reward given by Canglan Demon King is too attractive.

It made him feel scratchy in his heart.

Shen Lian chose to create independent accessory puppet parts.

Fellow Daoist Hongye still chose Panlongzhu. He obviously felt that it didn’t work last time and wanted to experience it again this time because of his experience.

Similarly, the real puppet machine still chooses the puppet board.

Fellow Daoist Furukawa chose the video wall.

As for mutual cooperation, the Great Demon King said no, the monks have to rely on themselves.

"Then fellow Taoists, come with me."

The little fox divided into four and led the four people into the four light gates.

……

The years of cultivating immortality are like a horse passing by.

In a space filled with a vast atmosphere, puppet parts of various shapes, large and small, were lying in the grass.

The parts of these puppets are as big as mountains and as small as needles, and they have all kinds of strange shapes.

Outside a puppet part about ten feet in size, Shen Lian sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

The work in front of him hasn't started yet. If he hadn't been afraid of surveillance, he would have replaced his secondary soul to work on it.

After adjusting his breath, he gently patted the puppet parts in front of him, took a jade slip and felt it.

Working for the Demon King does not require him to use his will. The Demon King directly gives the rune array carved by runes, and he only needs to carve the puppet parts bit by bit according to the appearance of the rune array.

The spiritual thoughts were absorbed into the jade slip, and the combination of forbidden patterns in the jade slip just formed a cycle of five elements.

Shen Lian was very familiar with this kind of restriction.

It's nothing to build a five-element cycle with one or two parts, but the Demon King gave him so many jade slips, all of which were runes in the five-element cycle state.

In other words, the oversized 'puppet' to be built, let's call it a spiritual ship, is inseparable from the Five Elements.
